%N Irregular triangle array of coefficients in ascending order of modified polynomials that arise in the study of Erdős-Ko-Rado sets of generators of the hyperbolic quadrics Q+(4n + 1, q).
%C The n-th polynomial, as described in the link, is divisible by x^(n*(n-1)).
%C So they are here divided by this factor, thus removing the n*(n-1) leading zeros from the n-th row.
%C The initial degree of the n-th polynomial was n*(2*n-1) (A000384), so, finally the length of the n-th row is n^2 + 1 (A002522).
%C It appears this sequence is identical to A178666 up to the signs.

%e The rows with leading zeros are:
%e [1],
%e [1, 1],
%e [0, 0, -1, 1, 0, 1, 1],
%e [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1, 0, -1, 1, -1, 1, 0, 1, 1].
%e The leading zeros are dropped, so the triangle starts:

%e [1, 1],
%e [-1, 1, 0, 1, 1],
%e [1, -1, 0, -1, 1, -1, 1, 0, 1, 1],
